The latest Popular Computer World (a weekly mag) carried another news item on the Atari Transputer quoting actual figures and even a launch date. So here it is: - T800 Transputer. 15 mips. Single chip systems but can fit up to 13 (!) T800's inside the system box. - Fast graphics. Screen updates at 13 frames/sec on a 1 million pixel screen. - 32 bit blitter, drawing at 100 mega-pixels/sec (I think this could be a typo !). - Screen modes: 1280 x 960 4 colours 1024 x 768 ? 640 x 480 ? 512 x 480 ? - Pallette of 16,000,000 colours. Will be produced as an add-on box to the ST, followed by a stand-alone workstation. First shipments are scheduled for next June. (No doubt next June they will be "imminent" !) I'll post any more info as it becomes available.
